Storing Word Documents in SQL Server
-
I am currently working on an application for Intensive care. One of the requirements is that the users would like to create discharge summaries in Microsoft Word and then store them in the database. I know you can store Word documents as BLOBS (I don't know how). But isn't this a little resource intensive! Is there another way to do this?
I would be vary grateful for any advice on this subject!

Why not just store them in files and put the file location in SQL Server. Also you sure you want to do this word files that could be edited and cause all sorts of headaches (legal) how about PDFs?
